Flyers and signs litter the outer covering the one of the large posts near the Diag. Although they were once steam ventilatiors for Ann Arbor, the posts were an easy way for many organeations to spread the word about their upcoming events, such as meetings and fundraisers. K.

Con- I sisting of at least 2,000 volunteer participants, K-grams provided a once- I in-a-lifetime opportunity for elementary children from 10 area schools to gain an understanding of the college experience while learning the true reason for reading and writing through a variety of kids programs. Out of all of the large events the group sponsored during the school year, the most well known was the pen-pal program. Through this unique opportunity, University students from 13 residence halls participated in six letter exchanges between over 1,000 local elementary students. Members also traveled to community schools and worked with the students on edu-active projects, a combination of educational and active activities. By Randielle Humphries The group also supported BookMARK, a program that helped children with activities such as reading, writing, mathematics, science, and even recess games. Kids-Fair, the end-of-the-year event held in March, brought together more than 2,000 students and children and over 100 student groups for a day of educational exploration. On the whole, K-grams ' volunteers gave up their time for the opportunity to enhance the lives of younger members of the commu- nity. K-grams is driven by energetic, highly committed college students who truly believe in what they are doing, said LSA senior Catherine Hawke. Yet, in the end, not only did the children benefit educationally, but the University students also gained knowledge and experiences to carry throughout their lives. ORGANIZATIONS 225
